Nebulization
About the procedure
Nebulization is a treatment that delivers medication directly into the lungs in the form of mist. It is commonly used for asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. The patient breathes through a mask or mouthpiece while the nebulizer converts liquid medicine into fine particles. This allows quick relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. The procedure is painless and especially helpful for children and elderly patients who have difficulty using inhalers.
